Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (KMAE-Bulletin Fran?ais de la Pêche et de la Pisciculture since 1928) serves as a foundation for scientific advice across the broad spectrum of management and conservation issues related to freshwater ecosystems.The journal publishes articles, short communications, reviews, comments and replies that contribute to a scientific understanding of freshwater ecosystems and the impact of human activities upon these systems. Its scope includes economic, social, and public administration studies, in so far as they are directly concerned with the management of freshwater ecosystems (e.g. European Water Framework Directive, USA Clean Water Act, Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, …) and prove of general interest to freshwater specialists. Papers on insular freshwater ecosystems and on transitional waters or estuaries are welcome. KMAE is not a preferred journal for taxonomical, physiological, biological, toxicological studies, unless a clear link to ecological aspects can be established. Articles with a very descriptive content can be accepted if they are part of a broader ecological context.

水生生態系統的知識和管理(自1928年以來，KMAE-Bulletin Francais de la Peche and de la pulture)是為與淡水生態系統有關的廣泛管理和養護問題提供科學咨詢的基礎。該雜志發表的文章、簡短的通訊、評論、評論和答復有助于科學地了解淡水生態系統以及人類活動對這些系統的影響。其范圍包括直接涉及淡水生態系統管理的經濟、社會和公共行政研究(例如歐洲水框架指令、美國潔凈水法案、加拿大水質準則等)，并證明淡水專家對此普遍感興趣。歡迎發表關于島嶼淡水生態系統和過渡水域或河口的論文。KMAE不是分類、生理、生物學、毒理學研究的首選期刊，除非能與生態方面建立明確的聯系。具有非常描述性內容的文章可以被接受，如果它們是更廣泛的生態環境的一部分。
